Raising Children to Weather the Storm
The other day my husband sends me an email with a link to Nas’ new single, Daughter’s. He later follows up with this text: “I can’t stop thinking about this song. You gotta listen to it.” As parents, we like to think that our kids can do no wrong. If and when they do, we…
All the parents were invited for snack time at daycare. I was feeling bummed that I couldn’t visit Princess for milk and cookies. Her daddy had the day off from work, and surprised her. As you can tell by the photo, she was super excited to see her daddy. He made both our days! Weather…
I’ve had this blog for almost a year now. I started it as a way to document my adventures of career and motherhood. Finding balance between the two has been challenging. But, I’m getting there. I also hope that one day Princess will want to read it, and learn all about mommy’s journey. But, it…

Lately I’ve been feeling torn between being a mom and career woman. I even asked my hubby the other day. “What if I become a stay at home mom?” He shot me the ‘you must be crazy look.’ It would be kinda nice to spend everyday with Princess. But, staying home would mean putting the…
Princess is getting so big, and she’s finally sleeping through the night! But, why am I not ecstatic? I thought I’d being jumping over the moon, and excited to be getting more sleep. But, I’m sad.
